Red, White & Booze

This layered drink looks so refreshing and festive and is a perfect adult drink for a July 4th party or picnic! The drink is fairly sweet because of the grenadine and blue curacao, so for the best results, we recommend a slightly tart or unsweetened lemonade.

Firecracker Rum Shots

Ahhhh…Independence Day. BBQ’s, games, friends, fireworks and rum shots? Why not! Here’s a recipe for Firecracker Rum Shots sure to spice up your 4th of July picnics. Got kids around? Make another round – sans the rum – (maybe a different color for easy identification) for the young ones and designated driver’s.

Glass shot glasses work well for very small parties (and look good in the pictures), but these 2 oz. Mini Red Solo Cups  work quite well for larger gatherings!

Firecracker Rum Shots

Course: Drinks
Servings: 12 1 1/2 oz. shots

Ingredients

Instructions

Notes

Option 2: Want to make your shots taste a little cinnamony? Add 1/4 c. of red hots to the boiling water before you add the Strawberry Jello and use white rum instead of flavored rum.
